Four homes on an eroding North Carolina island have collapsed into the ocean, battered by icy winds, as the eastern United States endures more than a week of sub-freezing temperatures. The severe cold snap has also left Florida farmers anxiously awaiting a thaw for their frozen plants, underscoring the widespread impact.
Thermometers remained below freezing across the northern U.S., stretching from the Dakotas to Maine, throughout Monday. Sub-zero conditions were forecast to return to the Southeast overnight, affecting parts of northern Florida.
